This paper discusses the seven different anode discharge modes which can occur in a vacuum arc. These modes are diffuse arc (low current, with or without anode sputtering), footpoint and plume (intermediate current), plus anode spot (two types), and intense arc (high current). The plume and Type 2 anode spot modes may occur just for certain materials, since they have been seen only with CuCr electrodes. Descriptions of the various spot modes are presented, based primarily on experimental results. The effects of external magnetic fields on anode modes are briefly stated. Arc column modes are also discussed, but only as they correspond to anode modes. more... |

This paper presents the results of experiments on the low-impedance diode formation in the configuration of a rod-pinch diode shorted with a radial wire array. It has been found that using an axially asymmetric configuration with a radial wire array instead of an axisymmetric configuration with a radial foil does not substantially modify the focusing of the electron beam on the tip of the rod. Radial wire rod-pinches driven by the MIG generator (1 MV, 2 MA, 80 ns) produce 10-ns long X-ray pulses with the peak dose rate up to 1.1×108 rad/s and the total dose per pulse up to 2 rad. 0.8-mm size point-like X-ray sources attractive for off-axis radiography were observed. more... |

The paper summarizes the results of the microwave generation in atmospheric air and argon at high pressure. The method how to proceed to achieving higher power level is presented. Two experimental setups were considered. Attention is paid to the interactions between the frequencies in the resonant cavity i.e., the coherence effect. The objective is to get reproducible data and the generation of the microwave emission at the single frequency to avoid the coherence effect. The electrons in the cavity are created by the electric field and by the photoionization, enabling the population inversion to be obtained. Because of the electron impact with N2 in air, molecules cannot lose this energy by photon emission, their excited vibrational levels are metastable and live for a long time. The microwave pulse of long duration can be generated. The various radiation lines created in the resonant cavity are noted. more... |

The differential absorption hard X-ray (DAHX) spectrometer is a diagnostic developed to measure time-resolved radiation between 60 keV and 2 MeV at the Z Facility. It consists of an array of seven Si PIN diodes in a tungsten housing that provides collimation and coarse spectral resolution through differential filters. DAHX is a revitalization of the hard X-ray spectrometer that was fielded on Z prior to refurbishment in 2006. DAHX has been tailored to the present radiation environment in Z to provide information on the power, spectral shape, and time profile of the hard emission by plasma radiation sources driven by the Z machine. more... |
